Passport Lancero By Crux Cigars

It's been so busy around here, I'm running a bit behind. This Passport Lancero By Crux Cigars came in last month's Cigar Of The Month package from Cigar Train. It's just my 2 cents here, but I think Crux has great logo!

Holding the Passport in my hand, it's a beauty. It's packed well full length, the oily, maduro colored wrapper is seamless and contains only the finest of veins. From the cold foot there are notes of rich, fermented tobacco to the nose and once the standard triple cap is clipped, the firm draw has flavors of spicy fruit.

As the Passport burned it started with mild bodied flavors of cocoa, corn syrup, toast, brown sugar and nuts. After the first third the cocoa changed to chocolate leaving a nice chocolate aftertaste plus there were nuances of caramel and cream mixed in. The Crux Passport Lancero finished it's eighty minute burn with a nice medium bodied mix of chocolate, cream and spicy white pepper. Tasty!

Although this cigar had a great flavor mix, over-the-top construction, and a razor sharp burn, I have to say the draw was tight enough to hinder the smoking experience of the first half. It did however free up right around the mid point. Even with the draw problems, this cigar is a winner.

Eight O'Clock Coffee The Original

This sample of Eight O'Clock Coffee , "The Original", came right off the supermarket shelf the other day. It's a medium roast blend that included a large volume of broken and partial beans. Actually, I was surprised by the volume of broken beans as I poured each sample into the grinder. When the bag was opened, to the nose there were rich aromas of toast and coffee, while the pour-over aromas were a mix of cocoa and warm bread. I brewed and sampled four cups of The Original to be sure of my tasting notes. On the Eight O'Clock web site they list this coffee as "sweet, fruity and well balanced." Like most other coffee reviews that's not exactly what I found. In my samples there were semi-sweet flavors of toast, nuts and earth, with a hint of cocoa as the coffee cooled. I found the coffee clean and well balanced with a medium bodied, slightly dry mouth feel. Overall, The Original, from Eight O'Clock coffee brewed a flavorful rewarding cup

Tryst No. 2 Robusto Brandy E-Cigar

Featuring e-juice made in the USA, these Tryst e-cigars are a pretty sweet deal. The No. 2 Robusto Brandy is another great example of a cigarette alternative that give me cigar-like satisfaction indoors or wherever I can't smoke a real cigar. Like the last Tryst reviews, I've been puffing on the No. 2 the past two days while writing. Other than its brandy flavor, this Brandy model is just like the the other No. 2's. The tapered head makes it easy to hold hands-free between your teeth, the wrapper is durable showing no signs of wear, it produces a large volume of vapor and the brandy flavored e-juice tastes fantastic. You probably know I'm not much of a flavored cigar person, but these American made e-juices from Tryst have fantastic flavor, this brandy is really close to tasting like brandy. I've tried other flavored e-cigarette products in the past and the flavors don't compare at all to the Tryst e-cigar flavors. Add together the great taste, the
